I listened to it all. The Republicans didn't do bad at all. They kept the Senate and the House didn't win as much as was expected.
I'm pretty sure when the more oversite kicked in the people in President Trumps administration (those not living in "President Trumps denial world" anyway) would beg to differ with you. :)

Again, you over-sold what was on the video and it really didn't live up to your claims.
No, I showed President Trump was one of the people who wanted to get rid of the Electoral college, your attempt to move the goal posts at this point doesn't actually change that. :wave:

Majority rule is where five people want your bicycle and so having a majority they take your bicycle. BTW, we were never a democracy or a representative democracy. We are a representative republic.

Yes, we were founded as a Constitutional Republic but our voting system is profoundly democratic. There had been Constitutional Republics before, Aristotle even had a collection of Constitutions that were a part of his written works. You can't really have a true democracy, majority rule comes with some pretty unruly complications. As a rule of law and a basis for a form of government a Constitutional republic works pretty well, it's conducive to a democratic process, just not dependent on it.

I am not adding anything to the text.

You are. That text says nothing about practicing religion. It should be noted that nowhere do the prophets of God condemn Edomites or Egyptians for worshiping as they do. Their ire was for Israelites who were disobeying God by worshiping other gods.

Rather it says what I told you it says. Israelites were required by God to not oppress or exploit strangers in their land, specifically mentioning Edomites and Egyptians.

I don't know, they are going to show Republicans how it's done when you are in control of the House, Senate and White House.

The last time the Dems controlled everything, they were a disaster.


There are no guarantees but the trend now is for it to shift from one party to the other.
The Dems will likely get back the White House in 2024. So far, they have nothing to run other than hating Trump, raising taxes, killing jobs and getting rid of cows and airplanes, and killing private health insurance. None of that stuff is winning material to run on.

I agree that they will swing hard left, I know my party, they will swing hard left even if they have no chance of success and they are pretty much going to coast into 2020.
They will probably lose the House in 2020 given how the House is pretty much in chaos and Pelosi is losing control of it to a former bartender and two Muslims that she is scared spitless of. And given how that the House has an unhealthy obsession with investigating Trump because Mueller didn't deliver the goods they were expecting. Americans are tired of having millions of their tax dollars wasted on these silly investigations.

Still don't know what's in the Mueller report but I doubt seriously he colluded with Russia, if he did I would advise Russia to check to make sure they still have their wallet and their watch. Trump doesn't even collude with his staff, does anyone seriously think he could collude with Russia in a highly technical hacking operation? Trump had better be watching out of the SDNY, they are loaded for bear and probably going to wait and see if he gets voted out before preferring charges, whatever they might be.
Nothing will come out of the SDNY. Once Trump is out of office, there is no political capital in going after him, any longer. Kind of Judge Roy Moore; once he lost his election, they lost interest in him.

There are no Nazis running for office in the Republican Party. And simply because some White Supremeacist hijack some aspect of the Republican party for their own self-serving goals, doesn't make the Republican party a Nazi organization. The Republican party has never endorsed or been party to any White Supremacist group and so you can lose this false representation of our party.

I am talking about the Bible, namely the OT as whole. You see nothing in the Bible about God making provisions for pagans to be a part of Israel without assimilating into nation.

Actually God judged nations outside of Israel for their paganism just as he judged Israel for the same thing.

Barbarian regarding the radical right's fear of a government by the people:
That's what every wannabee dictator says. Politicians should fear the people, and they do. That is why they rig various ways to keep the people from controlling the government.

Majority rule is where five people want your bicycle and so having a majority they take your bicycle.

No, that's a kleptocracy. Majority rule is where the government is by the people.

BTW, we were never a democracy or a representative democracy.

The United States is a federal republic and a constitutional representative democracy.

The "federal" part is one of three basic types of organization of power — unitary, confederal, and federal. Most nations are unitary in nature (local government with a powerful national government). There are no confederacies that I know of at this time (the U.S., under the Articles of Confederation was one; Germany and Switzerland have also had confederate systems in the past). Federal systems are common among large nations where several levels of government are needed. Australia, Canada, and Brazil are federal as well. Federations do not always work, such as in the case of the United Arab Republic.

The "republic" implies that we have a strong head of state (the President) and elected officials representing the people.

The "constitutional" part means that we have a constitution, which is pretty obvious, considering this site. Finally, the "representative democracy" part means that the people elect representatives to take care of legislative matters. Originally, the only part of the government that fit this description was the House of Representatives. Today, the Senate does, too, and in current practice, so does the Electoral College.

https://www.usconstitution.net/constfaq_q76.html

Not at all. The founders set up a system by the Constitution that gives the states all the power over the federal government.

No. The Constitution sets out the powers reserved for the federal government, which it holds exclusively. The powers not given to the federal government are reserved for the states.

Until the 14th Amendment the freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights did not apply to the states, which were free to abuse citizens if they so wished. Then all our freedoms became assured as the states were then required to observe them.

That is what the War Between the States was all about.

And the 14th Amendment was the result.

See what happens when you sleep in American history class?

Barbarian observes:
You don't think Sweden is socialist? I think we've found the problem...



Bernie Sanders is a democratic socialist.

[quote[They began as socialists back in the 70’s but found out that it didn’t work. They freed up the manufacturing and business to independent owners and the economy flourished. Now they impose a high tax rate which the government then uses to control all the social welfare. It is no longer a strictly socialist country because of it.

So that's why the cost of living in the United States is 5% higher than in Sweden?
Cost of Living Comparison United States vs Sweden.


Don't see how. All the constitutional rights we have, exist in Sweden. Can you be specific about which rights in our Constitution aren't in Sweden's?



We're halfway there in terms of socialistic institutions. And no bloodshed.



What "bondage" do you think a Swedish citizen is under that we don't have?



You really got that one wrong. He was a very competent man, and did some good things for the United States. But he was a mean, untrustworthy criminal. And he was malignant enough to want to destroy anyone who got in his way. That included Americans not like him:

(President Nixon): All of the Jewish families are close, but there's this strange malignancy now that seems to creep among them. I don't know, the radicalism. I can imagine how the fact that Ellsberg is in this must really tear a fellow like Henry to pieces, or Garment, you know. Just like the Rosenbergs and all that. That just has to kill him. And you feel horrible about it.

(Ronald Ziegler): Couldn't be a guy by name of Snyder.

(President Nixon): There ain't none.

(H.R. Haldeman): It would've been a Rosenstein that changed his name.

(Ronald Ziegler): It is. Right. It's always an Ellsberg or (unclear).

(President Nixon): They're all Jews. Every one's a Jew. Gelb's a Jew. Halperin's a Jew. But there are bad- Hiss was not a Jew. So that proves something. Very interesting thing. So few of those who engage in espionage are Negroes. Very lucky that way. And good. As a matter of fact, very few of them become Communists. If they do, they either, like, they get into Angela Davis, they're more of an activist type, and they throw bombs and this and that. But the Negroes, have you ever noticed? There are damn few Negro spies.

(H.R. Haldeman): They're not intellectual enough. Not smart enough.

Nixon: "The Jews are Born Spies" | Miller Center

Trump, by comparison, is mostly a self-absorbed numbskull whose offenses are mostly because he can't see beyond his own self-interest. Nixon was as close to evil as a human can get.

The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.
John Ehrlichman
Nixon's Drug War, An Excuse To Lock Up Blacks And Protesters, Continues[/QUOTE]
I have said my piece. I don’t continue to argue against those who are not even trying to grasp what I am saying. It is a waste of time. Nixon has no bearing on the discussion anyway. I don’t need to defend him he is dead. He has answered to God not man.

There are no Nazis running for office in the Republican Party.

Prior to the blue wave, the warning was clear enough:

Self-described Nazis and white supremacists are running as Republicans across the country. The GOP is terrified.

The racist candidates are expected to lose, but they could drag their party down with them.

In at least five state and national races across the country, the Republican Party is dealing with an uncomfortable problem. Their party’s candidates are either a card-carrying Nazi, a Holocaust denier, a proud white supremacist, or all of the above.

In North Carolina, for example, GOP officials are stuck with Russell Walker, a white supremacist running for the state House of Representatives. According to his personal website (littered with the n-word), he believes that “the jews are NOT semitic they are satanic as they all descend from Satan.”

Republicans in the state have regrets. “This is a very Democratic district, one that we failed to keep our eye on,” Dallas Woodhouse, executive chair of the North Carolina GOP, told me in an email. “However, we can’t stop him from running.”

In Illinois, meanwhile, the Republican Party shrugged off Arthur Jones, a candidate for the state’s 3rd Congressional district who boasted of his membership in the American Nazi Party. But Jones won the GOP primary, and now party officials, including ones who called Jones “morally reprehensible” and “a complete nutcase,” are scrambling to launch a write-in campaign. Jones’s campaign website features a section called “Holocaust?” in which he argues that the “idea that six million Jews, were killed by the National Socialist government of Germany, in World War II, is the biggest, blackest lie in history.”

In Virginia, the chair of the state GOP resigned earlier this month, reportedly because of alt-right leaning, pro-Confederate candidate Corey Stewart’s win in the Republican primary. But even Stewart had to disavow Wisconsin’s Paul Nehlen, who is running to replace Speaker Paul Ryan. Nehlen’s too racist for Twitter and even for Gab, the preferred social media platform of the alt-right. Meanwhile, a California Republican running for Congress has been making appearances on neo-Nazi podcasts and argues on his campaign website that “diversity” is a Jewish plot. (The California GOP has disavowed him.)

Racial animus helped fuel the rise of Donald Trump. Since the end of the civil rights movement and under Republican strategist Lee Atwater’s “Southern strategy” that used racism as an unstated cudgel against Democrats, the Republican Party itself has played a welcoming host to racial tensions and fears.

That's just inane rambling of a liberal rag and it's pretty much garbage. Trump is not a racist and and the racists who tried to run on a Republican ticket didn't succeed. The Left has been playing race card since Obama was in office because it is the all-purpose weapon they use instead of actually formulating intelligent thought/conversation.

It's ironic that the Democrat party, the party of the KKK and the party that now protects and shields anti-Semitism thinks it has something meaningful to say about racism or white supremacy.

The last time the Dems controlled everything, they were a disaster.

The last time the Republicans had it all to themselves, and still do, they didn't do much.

The Dems will likely get back the White House in 2024. So far, they have nothing to run other than hating Trump, raising taxes, killing jobs and getting rid of cows and airplanes, and killing private health insurance. None of that stuff is winning material to run on.

I don't know about that, the global warming thing is going to be front and center at a minimum. Health Care Reform will go full bore toward universal health care and probably you will see the tax cuts rolled back, while a movement to raise minimum wage will be pushed, even if it fails. Clinton and Obama both entered office with the economy in crises, in 2020 we might actually see a healthy economy being transitioned to a Democrat controlled Congress and Oval Office but a lot can happen between now and then.

They will probably lose the House in 2020 given how the House is pretty much in chaos and Pelosi is losing control of it to a former bartender and two Muslims that she is scared spitless of. And given how that the House has an unhealthy obsession with investigating Trump because Mueller didn't deliver the goods they were expecting. Americans are tired of having millions of their tax dollars wasted on these silly investigations.

The elections will be competitive, no question about that, but I wouldn't try to call it this early. My thoughts are the blue wave will continue and Trump has given the Democrats more then enough ammunition to take this to the people. The investigations are going to yield what they yield and there would have been no special investigator had Trump not been so anxious to shoot his mouth off recklessly.
Nothing will come out of the SDNY. Once Trump is out of office, there is no political capital in going after him, any longer. Kind of Judge Roy Moore; once he lost his election, they lost interest in him.

We'll see now won't we? I think Trump's real problems start when he leaves office and I think SDNY has plenty on him.

That's just inane rambling of a liberal rag and it's pretty much garbage.

They listed the self-declared Nazis and white supremacists who were running in the republican party last election. If you regard the truth as "inane rambling", then perhaps it's a message for you.

Trump is not a racist
The Trump Administration's Record of Racism
(The first 200+ documented examples)
The Trump Administration's Record of Racism — Democracy in Color

and and the racists who tried to run on a Republican ticket didn't succeed.

Most of them, anyway...

A Republican member of Congress apparently doesn't think being labeled a white supremacist should be such a bad thing.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) asked The New York Times about the term in an interview published Thursday. "White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?," he asked.

GOP Rep. Steve King asks why 'white nationalist' and 'white supremacist' are 'offensive' terms

At least King is man enough to admit it. And he's not trying to hide what his party stands for.

Republicans have been playing race card since the 1960s, because it is the all-purpose weapon they use instead of actually formulating intelligent thought/conversation.

It's ironic that the republican party, the party of the KKK:
KKK parades through Roxboro for ‘Trump victory’
KKK parades through Roxboro for 'Trump victory'

and the party that now protects and shields anti-Semitism:

In 2002, Scalise, then a Louisiana state representative, attended and spoke at a convention of the white supremacist European American Unity and Rights Organization, a group founded by David Duke. You remember Duke, right? The Holocaust-denying former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who has been described by the Anti-Defamation League as “perhaps America’s most well-known racist and anti-Semite.”
...
You want anti-Semitism? Where to begin with Gaetz? He invited the notorious Holocaust denier Chuck Johnson* to be his guest at the State of the Union and later defended Johnson: “He’s not a Holocaust denier; he’s not a white supremacist. Those are unfortunate characterizations of him.”

He has appeared on Alex Jones’s “Infowars” show. Jones has said that “it’s not that Jews are bad, it’s just they are the head of the Jewish mafia in the United States. They run Uber, they run the health care, they’re going to scam you, they’re going to hurt you.”

That doesn't make us a democracy and we are a Republic because the founders didn't want us to be like France, which at the time, was controlled entirely by Paris.

They considered it mob rule, no technically we are not a democracy, but we have a democratic process at least in our voting. I'm apprehensive of the electoral college being undermined or set aside because I think it will erode state's rights.

Yes, you don't want a majority rule given what the majority might decide to do you, or take from you.
That is a serious threat no matter what form of government is in power.

They listed the self-declared Nazis and white supremacists who were running in the republican party last election. If you regard the truth as "inane rambling", then perhaps it's a message for you.
Inane rambling refers to a journalist's refusal to navigate the difference between racist groups that hijack a party's platform vs. a party's endorsement. The Republican party did not endorse any racist groups. But the Democrats DO support racism as long as it directed at Jews.


The Trump Administration's Record of Racism

Yeah, that report is rather laughable. The report indicates that Trump's opposition to illegal aliens entering the US is racist. They refuse to recognize the nuance between immigration (which is always legal) and illegal aliens attempting to breach our borders. As far as the Left is concerned illegal entry is "immigration" and according to the Left, if you are opposed to illegal entry you are "racist." "Illegal immigration" is a contradiction in terms, as immigrants come legally and follow the rules and they become citizens. To paint opposition to illegal entry as racist is unfair and untrue.

The race card is the Left's all purpose weapon to condemn anything they don't like and to shut down other's people's freedom of speech. According to the Left, racism is a one-way street. While things like "white privilege" is also racist, it is given a pass because only white people can be racist in the liberal's mindset. So hating white people is actually racist, but opposing illegal entry into the IS racist although race has nothing to do with any argument against illegal entry.

The report also mentions Trump's travel ban of certain Muslim nations as if it was a "Muslim ban." And it was also painted as racist (even though "Muslim" is not a race). It was a ban on 7 nations where terrorists and extremists typically come from. It was not ban on Muslim immigration, as the media often tried to paint it. It was travel ban from a few select countries, but was called "racist."

He is called "racist" for calling out black on black violence in places like Chicago. But it is a fact that more blacks are killed by other blacks in Chicago. It is well known in the public domain. But when Trump mentions it, it is racist.

It's stuff like that, which I really have no time or patience for, because numerous examples could be drawn from that report wherein racism is asserted, but no REAL racism is actually being committed. It is gotten to the point that "racism" loses on meaning when the Left uses that term.

Most of them, anyway...

A Republican member of Congress apparently doesn't think being labeled a white supremacist should be such a bad thing.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) asked The New York Times about the term in an interview published Thursday. "White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?," he asked.

At least King is man enough to admit it. And he's not trying to hide what his party stands for.
No, what happened was the party disciplined him for his racist comments. Compare that with the Democrat controlled house that allows one of their freshman members repeatedly spout anti-Semitic slurs and shields her from any criticism or accountability for those racist slurs. According to the Left, racism against Jews is socially acceptable. So Democrats and the Left really have no moral grounding to condemn racism. Their hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Republicans have been playing race card since the 1960s, because it is the all-purpose weapon they use instead of actually formulating intelligent thought/conversation.
Nope. The Democrats had Sentator Byrd, a long time member of the KKK and they had no problem with having him in their party. He was good friends with Hillary, as well.

It's ironic that the republican party, the party of the KKK:
KKK parades through Roxboro for ‘Trump victory’
KKK parades through Roxboro for 'Trump victory'

Again, this goes back to the difference between some group endorsing a party vs. the party endorsing the group. The latter did not happen.

and the party that now protects and shields anti-Semitism:

In 2002, Scalise, then a Louisiana state representative, attended and spoke at a convention of the white supremacist European American Unity and Rights Organization, a group founded by David Duke. You remember Duke, right? The Holocaust-denying former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who has been described by the Anti-Defamation League as “perhaps America’s most well-known racist and anti-Semite.”

But as the article you posted mentioned, Scalise did not vet the group and did not know what the group was or what they stood for and would not have spoken there had he known.
...
You want anti-Semitism? Where to begin with Gaetz? He invited the notorious Holocaust denier Chuck Johnson* to be his guest at the State of the Union and later defended Johnson: “He’s not a

He has appeared on Alex Jones’s “Infowars” show. Jones has said that “it’s not that Jews are bad, it’s just they are the head of the Jewish mafia in the United States. They run Uber, they run the health care, they’re going to scam you, they’re going to hurt you.”

- thinks it has something meaningful to say about racism or white supremacy.
Nothing in that article suggests that Gaetz endorsed Johnsons' holocaust denial or anything Johnson has said or written. He did not invite Johnson on account of Johnson's anti-Semitism.

And by the way criticizing George Soros is not anti-Semitic. Soros IS an anti-Semite and his father was an informant for the Nazis. Soros, Steyer and Bloomberg were not criticized by McCarthy and others BECAUSE they were Jewish, so those six guys are not guilty of anti-Semitism.

Your post accusing Republicans of racism is a dead stick. Most of it is contrived, things are taken out of context and you are relying on a Leftist narrative that misuses racism to falsely accuse innocent people of something they had not done.
